Smoking Sea

The Smoking Sea (Aran: surnugorr), known to the Vachai as the Sea of Fire (Vachai: Ardo Cāstās), is a major body of water almost entirely enclosed by the Great Continent, counting with limited exchange of water with the Ocean through its South-Eastern gap. Both of its common names come from the fact it is home to a number of volcanoes, which are a continuation of the Belt of Fire that runs through the Great Continent's Eastern half.

A number of civilizations have historically depended on the Smoking Sea, such as the Qoiris, the Sivalis, and, to a lesser degree, the Arans. The Smoking Sea is also home to the island of Ersellei.
